  "description": "The decision to award this contract in line with the Competitive Process was based on evaluation against the basic selection criteria, which was assessed on a pass/fail basis, and the PSR 5 key criteria, which were assessed on a 0-4 scale, with the below weightings. \nSeveral tender questions were asked under each of the key criteria.\nQuality \u0026 Innovation - 35%\nValue - 10%\nIntegration, Collaboration and Service Sustainability - 17%\nImproving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice - 28%\nSocial Value - 10%\nThe providers selected for award have been chosen as they passed the basic selection criteria and were the highest scoring bidder overall, against the key criteria. Recommendations for award of contract made by NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board Pharmacy, Optometry and Dentistry (POD) were approved by the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB Procurement Group and NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB Exec Committee. Recommendations for award of contract made by NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board were approved by the NHS Sussex ICB Primary Care Commissioning and Transformation (PCCAT) Commissioning Group.\nAfter conducting a thorough Competitive Process, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB and NHS Sussex ICB are content that the providers\u0027 bids sufficiently met the key criteria and thus can proceed to contract award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.\nThree declarations of potential conflict of interest were made via the conflict of interest process and recorded accordingly. The non-conflicted members of the procurement have assessed the nature and risk of each declared conflict, and decided which steps to take to avoid or mitigate them. These conflicts were deemed as not being likely to arise and managed accordingly, with appropriate mitigating action planned if required.\nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to the relevant authority by Midnight on 9th March 2026. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award a contract under the competitive process of the PSR.\nWritten representations should be sent to scwcsu.procurement@nhs.net",
